Hard Light with the Lupo Dayled 1000 Dual Pro LED Light

In this episode, I talk about when hard light is useful for interview video. Then we review the Lupo Dayled 1000 Dual Pro LED fresnel light. I love having a hard light to create background effects and the nice thing about hard lights is that you can bounce them to make them soft.
